Austin Lau, who works in marketing at [Anthropic](https://www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-tops-openai-business-ai-adoption-ramp-index-2026-5), may have just set a new standard for AI-powered wedding planning.

Ahead of marrying his longtime partner, Lau used [Claude Code](https://www.businessinsider.com/claude-elon-musk-anthropic-ai-compute-2026-5) to analyze 12 years of iMessages between the couple, then fed the data into Claude Design to generate a custom wedding website packed with stats, charts, and inside jokes. He [posted](https://x.com/helloitsaustin/status/2051792721871004002?s=20) this on X, racking up more than 3 million views.

The result looked like a Spotify Wrapped for their relationship: 161,000 messages, 8,600 shared photos, almost 28,000 emojis, and nearly 1,800 "I love you" texts. One chart mapped their texting habits over time, with a peak in 2016 when they were in college. Another chart revealed that messaging spiked around 9 p.m.

But the internet fixated on something else: the couple's second most-used emoji over 12 years was the angry face. One X user wrote, "Best of luck mate."

Lau's response: "I'm cooked brother."
